$14.99/month when we launch, free forever for beta testers
- TestFlight is Apple's own app for testing new apps. It's free and made by Apple.
- Your iPhone may ask you to install TestFlight first. That's normal.
- We never see your Apple ID or payment details.
In the app you'll sign up for the $14.99/month plan. Because this is a TestFlight beta, Apple runs it as a test purchase: you will never be charged.
What your iPhone will ask
- Get TestFlight from the App Store. It's free and made by Apple.
- TestFlight may ask to send notifications, so it can tell you when a new beta is ready. You can say no.
- Accept, then Install for dropHear. That's the invite screen.
- TestFlight may ask to send crash details to us after a crash. We only see your install date, sessions, crashes and app version, not your name or email.
- dropHear may ask to send notifications, like "your show is ready". Optional.
That's all normal. TestFlight is Apple's own way to try new apps, and Apple reviews the beta before it reaches testers outside our team.

What is TestFlight?
TestFlight is Apple's app for trying apps before they're in the App Store. It's free.
Is this safe?
Yes. Apple reviews the beta before it reaches testers outside our team. You can delete dropHear any time, like any other app.
Why TestFlight instead of the App Store?
dropHear is in a private, invite-only beta, and Apple uses TestFlight for that. The App Store comes later.
What does TestFlight see?
If you join from a link like this one, we can't see your name or email. We see your install date, sessions, crashes and app version, and we only use them to improve dropHear. We never see your Apple ID or payment details.
I don't have a beta key
dropHear is in a private, invite-only beta, so you need a key from us. Ask for one at support@drophear.com.
